“For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline.” Timothy 1:7.
February may have been cold, but Blue Mountain has been alive with warmth and energy! This past February, we’ve been truly blessed to host youth groups from all over. We kicked off the month by welcoming a youth group of 95 eager to worship the Lord. While their time here is dedicated to growth and discipleship, the leaders also recognize the importance of fun and fellowship. As part of their experience, this group arranges a visit to a nearby ski resort, making the most of their time together in both faith and adventure.
Following that group, we had the incredible privilege of hosting a youth group of 386 from the Lancaster area! With so many in attendance, we completely maxed out our sanctuary seating—a beautiful sight to witness. During their stay, an ice storm swept through, yet we praise God for His protection over both the group and our staff. The youth embraced the wintery adventure, slipping and sliding all over the mountain, making unforgettable memories. It was truly a blessing to see them worship and grow in their faith together!
The day after our Lancaster youth checked out, we welcomed another group of 100 energetic and joy-filled students from Queens, NY. Their enthusiasm was contagious, and a reminder that we have a responsibility to pour into the next generation! It’s been an incredible sight to witness young hearts growing—not only in friendship but in their hunger for a deeper relationship with Christ. What a joy it is to see the next generation seeking Him with passion! As these incredible young people come to mind, we ask for your prayers that they would walk boldly in their faith, filled with God’s power, love, and self-discipline.
We look forward to the months to come!
